73 Days To Due to schedule changes, classes began on August 30 this year, earlier than ever before in Fairfax County. Therefore, the students had only seventy-three days of freedom. Yet, much activity abounded this past summer. The time-tested water sports such as swimming, diving and skiing, were once again popular. Others chose more unique recreation: mountain climbing in the Rockies, tours of Europe and hiking through the Blue Ridge Mountains. But many students had employment obligations which created conflicts between necessity and pleasure. However, all W.T.W. students have their own way of relax¬ ing. , A student diver from Woodson demonstrates With a look of determination, Pam Bodager continues to practice her tennis stroke, near perfect form. 10 STUDENT LIFE

Doubling Up Due to the natural gas shortage, James Robinson Secondary School was closed for the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 4. After ex¬ periencing a two day vacation, Robinson moved into our building. Classes were shortened, break eliminated, as W.T.W. students occupied the building for four hours in the morning and the Rams in the afternoon. Though a few complaints were voiced, the majority of stu¬ dents felt little or no regrets. Allowing more time in the day to accompany individual tastes, lost sleep or homework were caught up on. Though many Rams felt the need of a locker, the Cavaliers offered obligingly to accomodate their friends. In short, doubling up gave both schools a much welcomed, but little needed, semi-vacation. Lines of buses seemed to be constantly entering school grounds to pick up stu¬ dents. mb- ■ —1 jj4 An example of hospitality offered by many to Robinson. 12 STUDENT LIFE
